Grace, who lives and works in Irvine, CA, is a perfectionist about her dress and appearance. In her early 40s she has started noticing that visual effects of aging were starting to creep up on her. Never really happy about her smile she said that was tired of never liking the way her smile appeared, especially in photos. We treated two of Grace's co-workers in Irvine, who convinced Grace that she should come to our Orange County cosmetic dental practice to discuss options she might have.
At her appointment Grace was quick to share that she felt her teeth were way too short and yellow. What she really wanted was longer, whiter teeth. A number of years ago she porcelain veneers placed on two of her teeth, her upper lateral incisors, because those two teeth were extremely small. That fixed the problem of having two short teeth, but didn't substantially improve her smile as a whole. Now she was ready to really do something to improve her smile. What could we do to help her?
We looked at Grace's teeth, and yes, they were yellow and slightly smaller and shorter than average. When we evaluated her smile we could see that there was another problem, that her lip covered more than the usual amount of teeth. Usually someone with a great smile shows 90% or all of the length of their upper teeth when smiling. In Grace's case, she only showed about 50%. Thus we agreed with Grace, that lengthening her upper front teeth would allow her to show more teeth. And if we made her teeth whiter, that would also help solved her unattractive smile problem.
Since Grace had healthy teeth with no large fillings or cavities, she was a great candidate for porcelain veneers.
The next decision to be made was how many of Grace's teeth should get porcelain veneers? Grace thought we should put porcelain veneers on all of her upper teeth. But Grace only showed eight upper teeth when she smiled, thus she was happy to learn that we would only need to put porcelain veneers on eight teeth.
In designing Grace's smile the next decision we had to make was how much longer to make her teeth? Many things are taken into consideration when deciding the length of the upper front teeth. For instance, when the mouth is completely relaxed and teeth not touching, in general we would like to see 1-2mm of upper front teeth showing. She didn't show any teeth when that was done. Another point to consider is that when smiling we would like the edges of the upper front teeth to follow the curve of the lower lip. Cosmetic dentists call this concept "following the smile line." Speech patterns, phonetics, comfort, normal teeth proportions and average tooth lengths are also considered. After careful consideration we decided to make Grace's porcelain veneers on her front teeth 1.5mm longer than they were.
Another consideration was what color to make Grace's teeth. That decision is something that we insist that the patient makes. We will generally discuss color with the patient at three appointments before they make their final decision as to the color. We will make recommendations and discuss many important things about tooth color with our patients, but the ultimate decision will be theirs. In Grace's case we explained to her that since her upper lip covered more than the average amount of her upper front teeth that they would all be shadowed more than the average person. This shadowing would make the teeth appear slightly darker for a given tooth color. Thus, we suggested that Grace slightly overcompensate and utilize a tooth color that is slightly lighter than she wants. Grace ultimately chose a BL1 color from the tooth shade guide.
After designing Grace's final smile and three dental appointment Grace ended up with a fantastic smile, a huge improvement over what she originally had. Her teeth were whiter, brighter and longer and she happily reported that she is very happy with results, especially when she sees herself in photos.

Donald Glover A Dad Again
Comedian, rapper and actor Donald Glover has confirmed reports he's a new dad.
The star, aka Childish Gambino, tells Entertainment Tonight he and his girlfriend, named Michelle, recently welcomed their second child together.
"She's (girlfriend) great. She's good. Baby's born, so she's happier now," Glover said.
He used his Emmy Awards acceptance speech in September to reveal he was set to become a father of two. After winning his second award of the evening, the Lead Actor in a Comedy Series gong for his role in Atlanta, Donald told the audience, "I'm so happy, wow. Thank you guys so much. This is nuts.
"I want to thank Michelle, my partner. You love me even how crazy I get. I want to thank my baby, my son, for just being the joy in my life. I want to thank my unborn son, we're listening to Stevie tonight."
Donald and Michelle became first-time parents in 2016, when they welcomed son Legend into the world.
Speaking to Entertainment Tonight backstage at the awards, Donald opened up further about the prospect of having two young sons, joking, "It feels like she's (Michelle) been pregnant for a long time."
Asked when the tot is due, he added, "Probably by the end of the year sometime, I think."
It's going to be a big year for the rapper and actor – he'll appear as a young Lando Calrissian in Star Wars spin-off Solo: A Star Wars Story, while voicing Simba for the upcoming The Lion King remake.

I cannot recommend this girl enough!! Fabulous items and communication!
These were perfect to weight down my programs on my (very windy) wedding day! These were a great value, and the shipping was fast!
Beautiful little Xmas shapes, just perfect for craftwork. Quickly delivered, great price. Many thanks.
Excellent communication. Seller very helpful and answered all of my questions- and there were quite a few! Both sample and actual bulk purchase was speedy. Actually keyrings were just what I was looking for. Would definitely recommend and do business with again
Beautiful card, lovely quality and absolutely perfect!
I love it for my wedding! Great customer service
What a beautiful card, lovely quality, highly recommend this seller
Sam created a custom size word in MDF for me ... she was really helpful in getting the specification for what I needed right and I always got a speedy response. The item arrived and was perfect. Thanks Sam.
We bought two boxes - one each for our young daughters. Practically they are well made, neatly engraved and of ample size for multiple stocking fillers (we managed to include five items in each box with room to spare, including: a kaleidoscope, finger puppet, walking penguin, spinning top, some hair slides, fancy dress jewellery, gems...); but on a magical note they are now firmly a part of and the start of a new tradition. Our daughters loved a personalised box of treats and it raised the festive spirits even higher! Plus, if you have young children it allows for some gifts to be opened before Christmas day thus reducing how overwhelming it is - we still have some unopened gifts!), and it allowed us as parents to give them something (because everything on Christmas day is "from Santa" no matter what we say). Thank you!

I probably say this phrase a lot. After I was finished flipping off every single person on the highway yesterday and being kind of an asshole, I began the process of getting over the shit stain taking office in January. Please note, I will not refer to him as a president. Just a Shit Stain (S.S.) "taking office." It is what it is, and I'm already sick of hearing about it. I've started the process of muting people on Twitter, and using the handy "unfollow" FB feature for those that are still ranting/grieving. People need time to sort out their feelings and views. I support that choice.
I don't wish to tell those that are still suffering to "get over it." However, I'm sick of hearing about S.S. at this point. That is the way I'm coping. I cope with distance and time. Other people cope by writing their thoughts and feelings on social media. That's fine too. But since I cope by not engaging in those posts, I will mute them. I tend to get over things quickly. My rage burns brightly, but fades quickly. Maybe quicker than most in this case, because I didn't like either candidate. But I still was very shocked and disappointed with the results.
To be fair, I don't think there has been a president I've wholeheartedly liked. I know, I know! My views are neither right, left, up, or down. I also don't have a party association. Nothing suits me. Maybe I also expect perfection, and that is why I wind up disappointed (to some degree) and apathetic. So this election wasn't going to leave me with the warm n' fuzzies, regardless. But there is still hope. Many are taking steps to volunteer, and go out of their way to show kindness. They do this in spite of S.S., not because of S.S. Let's hope this gains momentum, so good things can come of this.
BTW, I found an S.S. supporter among my FB friends. I guess they were all hiding. My thing is, if you have to hide who you support, perhaps you should reconsider? Also, she claims she isn't a racist and supports the LGBT community. In my opinion, supporting someone who fuels hate among those that are different, makes you guilty by association. She is also (what I thought was) an intelligent woman. At first I was tempted to unfriend her. But then I thought, wouldn't that be hypocritical? I would be unfriending someone who has vastly different (misguided) views, who believes in a con-man, and someone who is intolerant. Wouldn't that also make me intolerant? Bit of a double-edge sword there. So perhaps the "unfollow posts" feature will used in her case.
P.S. Oh yes, this will likely be my last post on this topic for a while. As I said, I get over things by not dwelling on what I cannot change. It won't be easy or fun. I feel a deep sense of defeat and terror. But I need to sort through these feelings, and find ways to deal. So no worries, back to vapid posts about weekend adventures and cosmetics.

Saw Safety is a weekly newsletter of safety tips created by the UGA Saw Safety Team. This newsletter is for professionals in tree care and landscape, men and women who put a saw in wood. The letter offers one tip per week, is short and sweet, easy to share, and perfect for tailgate meetings. The goal of Saw Safety is to help companies and public sector entities create a culture of safety within their organizations and to encourage safety discussions. The steady stream of safety tips is punctuated with tips on sharpening, equipment, and other great resources. Illustrative, educational, and occasionally funny videos are embedded in the newsletter, when appropriate, and with full respect to copyrights. Events from the Georgia Arborist Association keeps readers up-to-date on trainings offered throughout the state.
In 2014 tree care and logging officially became the most dangerous work in the United States with a discouraging 78 deaths per year. Accidents abound when falling trees, chainsaws, and heights are combined. Arborists are not the only workers using chainsaws. Landscapers, golf course workers, city and county workers, and many others in the public and private sectors all commonly use chainsaws.
In the short time since it was created, subscription has grown steadily and the newsletter is widely recirculated. The Saw Safety newsletter is both deadly serious and lightly humorous. One reader commented, "We recently put together a safety training class for volunteers in our CERT Team (Community Emergency Response Team) and other volunteers. Used some of these videos to illustrate what stupidity really looks like."

The Five Step Felling Plan – Step 3 – Plan Your Escape Route
You need a safe, clear escape route when felling a tree.
90-15-5 Rule
90% of the accidents during felling occur within 15 seconds after the tree moves and within 5 ft of the trunk. This is called the 90-15-5 rule.
Within the radius of the tree there are two high danger zones and two safer retreat routes. The first and largest high danger zone occupies a half circle from the center of the tree going outward in the direction of the fall. The second high danger zone is a quarter-circle area in the direction opposite the felling direction. You can be hurt in this area if the trunk jumps the stump, sets back, or the tree barber chairs.
Escape Route
Your escape route is in the 45-degree angles between these danger zones. Your retreat distance should be a minimum of 20 feet from the falling tree. Clear away all obstacles – such as debris or brush – that might slow you down or trip you up. You should be able to make your escape without turning your back on the falling tree.
Once you've identified your escape path, communicate your plan of work and retreat route to others on the work site. Discuss potential hazards; co-workers may have observed something you missed.
If the escape route is so important, why wait till the third step of the felling plan? The escape route is determined by the direction of tree fall. You will need to determine the height of the tree, identify hazards, measure lean, and assess your available equipment before you can fully determine the felling direction. If you change the felling direction for any reason, you need a new escape route.
This guy knows how to clean up his escape route.
The Five Step Felling Plan – Step 2 – Gather Your Equipment
Safety isn't just a slogan, it's a way of life.
First and foremost, make sure you have your PPE on. Starting at the top, a helmet, safety glasses, ear protection, gloves, chainsaw pants or chaps, and finally, boots, preferably with steel toes.
Now determine what equipment is needed to assist the tree in its intended path of fall.
You will need a well-maintained and properly running chainsaw that has an engine which can safely operate a bar length slightly longer than the diameter of the tree. The chain should be sharp and in good repair.
If the tree has back or side lean, a throw line and rope or mechanical advantage set may be needed to help pull the tree over.
Wedges are required equipment on-site any time a tree is being felled. You may need multiple wedges and an axe to drive them. Wedges are a great way to provide mechanical advantage to a tree.
It is a good practice to place a wedge in the back cut of any tree being felled, regardless of the direction of lean.
Move all the equipment you have determined you will need to the base of the trunk. If you don't have all the equipment you need, then walk away and save the job for another day when you do have the equipment.
Help Fight Crime
If you are a landscape professional, know a landscape professional or employee a landscape company who has been a victim of theft, please share this with them.
These crimes are escalating – a local company was shot at and robbed at gunpoint. The Georgia Urban Ag Council is tracking these crimes to give data to local law enforcement. Email email@example.com or call 1-800-687-6949. Please help spread the word.
The Five Step Felling Plan – Step 1 – Heights, Hazards, and Lean
Safety isn't a word, it's an action plan.
Before you drop a tree, you need a plan. The Five Step Felling Plan can save your life.
The first step of the Felling Plan is called heights, hazards, and lean. You cannot drop a tree safely with out determining the height, assessing the tree and area for hazards, and measuring lean.
How tall is the tree?
There are many ways to determine the height of a tree. There are cell phone apps that can help you, and tools such as a clinometer or transit. The technique demonstrated here relies on free equipment almost always available at your work site: a stick!
The stick trick for measuring tree height is easy and fairly accurate. You need to find a stick as long as the distance between your hand, when your arm is outstretched, and your eye. (Measure with your safety glasses on! Don't poke out your eye!) Break off the stick or just hold it in your hand at that length.
- Line your hand up with the spot on the tree where you will cut the notch.
- Rotate the stick 90 degrees without moving your head or dropping your arm.
- Then walk backwards, away from the tree, until the tip of the stick is even with the top of the tree.
- It is important to hold your hand and arm still and to move your eyes, and not your head when you are lining up the tree.
When the tip of the stick lines up with the tip of the tree, you should be standing where the tip of the tree will fall.
The height estimate must be adjusted for front and back lean and topography. If the tree leans forward the height will be over estimated and if it has back lean, this method will underestimate the height. Similarly if the tree is on a slope falling up hill the height estimate will be low and if it is falling downhill the height will be overestimated.
What are the hazards?
Next, it is time to look for hazards. Take a walk around the tree and look at it very carefully. There are many potential hazards. Anything the tree may hit on the way down is also a hazard. Buildings, fountains, electrical wires, people, wildlife, and cars are just a few of the hazards that must be avoided.
Another tree which can change the direction of the fall or hangup the tree you want to fell is a potential hazard.
Some sites are loaded with hazards!
We talked about hazards found on the tree itself in the previous newsletter, but I have to remind you to take a good look at the tree as well.
Does the tree lean?
There is an easy way to tell if a tree has lean. Make a circle by placing your index fingers and thumbs together. Peer through the circle and step back until you have most of the tree's canopy in the circle. Drop an imaginary line from your index fingers and thumbs to the ground. How far is that line from the base of the tree? In this case it is 4 feet.
Lean needs to be measured at two separate locations. First measure lean in the line along which you intend to drop the tree. Then, move 90 degrees perpendicular to that and measure lean.
Generally if the tree has 3 feet or less of side lean, the notch may be adjusted to compensate. If it has more than 3 feet of side lean the tree will not fall in its intended path and you must come up with a new plan.
If you decide to adjust the line in which the tree will be felled, re-assess the lean again in the new line of fall and again, 90 degrees perpendicular to it.
When you finish this first step, you should have identified an intended path of fall.
We usually end with a video, but there are so many on YouTube in which cutters failed to assess Height, Hazards, and Lean that it is pointless to select one here.

August 25 - 26, 2018 20th Running!!
Latest News!!
> The waitlist has been cleared!! As in most years past, everyone who got their qualifier and trail work done and was still on the waitlist on August 1st, was invited to run!!
> Also, There is a new and improved full course map - check out the
We expect to be back to our normal single loop course. The out/back route for 2017 was only due to road closures due to the Jolly Mountain fire.
Race Overview
Cascade Crest is a challenging 100 mile trail run through the Central Cascades of Washington State. The course currently runs as a clockwise loop from the Easton Fire Station. The race starts is 9:00 am Saturday morning and there is an overall time limit of 34 hours.
Randy Gehrke founded and directed the race from 1999 through 2005. Charlie Crissman directed the race from 2007 through 2012. Their efforts have established Cascade Crest as one of the premier 100 milers in the country.
The current course record is 17:56:50 by Seth Swanson of Missoula, MT in 2014.
The women's record is 19:25:56 by Alissa St Laurant of Edmonton, Alberta in 2015.
Rod Bien (18:27:52) and Darcy Africa (21:15:12) each hold the second fastest time.
Race Qualifier
Entrants must complete an organized trail 50-miler or longer between January 1st, 2018 and July 31st, 2018, OR have completed an organized trail 100-miler ever. There should be no ambiguity that your qualifier is a "trail" run. Cascade Crest 100 is not easy... prepare accordingly.
Trail Work Requirement
Entrants get to do 8 hours of trail work. This trail work must be completed between January 1st, 2018 and July 31st, 2018 and should also be done with an organized work party such as the PCTA, WTA, or other trail work organization. Documentation of your trail work must be completed using the online submission form prior to August 1st. Trail work can be done where it is convenient for the runner. We recommend contacting your local US Forest Service office for trail work opportunities. For locals, the Washington Trails Association hosts trail work parties nearly every weekend in beautiful locations throughout the state. The trail work requirement applies to all entrants. Volunteering at a race does not constitute trail work.
Cancellation Policy
Entrants that cancel their registration before August 1st will be reimbursed $100. Do not enter if you are not prepared to forfeit the rest of the entry fee if you are unable to run.

General Overview
What is Cybernetics and Systems Science?
Systems Science states that different types of organization will always be found in the world, no matter how complex the world is, and that such organization can be described by principles which are independent from the domain being studied. Basically, systems theory emphasizes the interactions between the different components within a system.
As defined by Norbert Weiner (1948), Cybernetics is the science of "control and communication in the animal and machine." Cybernetics, derived from the Greek word for steermanship, kybernetes, uses the concepts of communication, information, control and feedback to understand how complex systems maintain, adapt and self-organize.
These areas can be seen as two components of a single approach to studying complex systems. Systems science is essentially the study of the structure of a system and its model. Cybernetics addresses the function of a system and the way it controls its actions and communicates with other systems. Together, these areas allow the construction of precise models for the control of purposeful, goal-directed behavior.

Current Projects
Computer Vision and Object Recognition
David Kadjo
A major challenge of computer vision is the recognition of occluded objects. This problem arises when only a portion of an object is visible. Recognition of partially occluded objects is an important task in many applications, such as target recognition and tracking, industrial inspection and robot navigation. These applications require robust recognition techniques that can handle a reasonable degree of occlusion.
A practical example of occluded object recognition is where a robot must recognize an industrial part in a composite scene of overlapping parts. A specific example of this is a scene comprised of overlapping industrial tools such as wrenches, hammers, strippers and pliers. Considering the problem of a robot picking up an industrial part from such a scene, the current work proposes a fuzzy model-based object recognition algorithm to allow the automatic recognition of partially occluded objects. The goal is to recognize the presence of tools from a database of known objects. The algorithm is intended to be rotation, translation and scale invariant.
Learning and Adaptation Using Fuzzy Inference
Chad MacDonald
The human brain is extremely adaptable and robust when it comes to learning in novel environments. The goal of this work is to use an intelligent system, developed using fuzzy logic, to emulate human motor learning (Figure Below). Such a system may be useful for the development of learning mechanisms for applications in robotics and artificial intelligence, as well as in gaining an understanding of human learning to aid in rehabilitation.
The particular task under consideration is upper-limb reaching in the presence of an external force field. A simulated human arm attempts to move its hand along smooth straight-line paths between starting and target locations. Using the position and velocity errors from a given reaching movement, the fuzzy learning system employs a knowledge base of if-then rules to incrementally adjust a model of the experienced force field. The end result is that the actual path followed by the hand approaches the intended straight-line path.
Vision-Based Robotic Arm Manipulator
Abel Bustillos, Gilberto Contreras, Rod, Quinn, Adrian Trejo
Robotics has a wide variety of applications in most major production facilities around the world. For example, the electronics industry uses robotic manipulation for the assembly of sensitive components, such as microprocessors. The materials processing industry also makes use of robotics to safely process both corrosive and non-corrosive materials. However, the use of robotics is best known in the automotive industry. In this case, auto makers employ a continuous robotic automation process to increase the production of automobile manufacturing as well as increase sales. Thus, robotics remains an integral part of any industry and further research remains essential in the Laboratory for Industrial Metrology and Automation.
One project that is currently under design is the development of a Vision-Based Robotic Arm Manipulator. Such a manipulator is an automated arm that uses a camera-based sensor to detect and retrieve a specific object. The robotic arm manipulator then transfers the object to a designated area and repeats the process at the discretion of the operator. Additionally, a VBRAM can also be programmed to distinguish and retrieve different objects. Furthermore, improvements in operation efficiency and robotic design may also be implemented at any time to extend the robotic project for future engineering students. Consequently, this research project not only accelerates interest in robotic innovation, but also prepares engineering students for multidisciplinary responsibilities.

Maryland group receives $30,000 telehealth grant
The University of Maryland Upper Chesapeake Health announced that it received a $30,000 grant from the Maryland Health Care Commission. It will be used for a pilot to demonstrate whether telehealth technology can be used to improve care transitions as patients move between hospital and nursing facilities.
UM UCH has partnered with Lorien Health System's Bel Air senior community, which has assisted living and nursing care, and LifeBot Telemedicine. During the pilot, physicians at the University of Maryland Upper Chesapeake Medical Center Emergency Department will conduct remote "telehealth" assessments of Lorien Bel Air residents through use of video cameras and other equipment.
Working in consult with a resident's attending physician, the ER physicians will analyze patient status and any change of condition, and say whether it's necessary to transfer the resident to the ER.
"We're very excited to participate in this grant project as we are dedicated to continual innovation," said Louis G. Grimmel Sr., Lorien CEO.

Cloned hard Disc will not work in new machine
I would be very grateful if someone could help with this:
I recently cloned my hard disc, which has Windows 7 and Ubuntu Linux installed, in order to transfer it to a new, faster machine.
The software that I used would only clone the Windows partitions so I cloned them and then created partitions for the Linux distribution and installed it.
I then tested the new hard disc in the machine I had just used and found that the new hard disc behaved exactly like the old one.
I then transferred the clone to the new computer and when I started it up I got the menu offering me a choice between Windows 7 and Ubuntu. When I selected Ubuntu the new machine booted into Ubuntu but when I selected Windows it got as far as "Starting Windows" and the coloured "bits" started to move and then it stopped.
When I rebooted I got a choice between "Boot Windows Normally" and "Run Startup Repair". I chose the latter and after about 20 minutes Windows announced that it could not repair the problem.
I then inserted the Windows installation disc and chose "Repair Computer" and selected the command prompt and 'bootrec /fixmbr' which didn't work them I did "bootrec /fixboot" that didn't work either.
Next I ran Paragon Rescue which said that it had fixed the problem but it hadn't - Windows still would not boot
What is there left to try to get this machine running?
If anyone could help I would be very grateful

chriscs, your problem is most likely that the drivers for the hardware on the old machine are trying to run the hardware on the new machine. That does not usually work very well. You are allways better off doing a clean install (Clean Install Windows 7)
|My System Specs
|22 May 2015
Hi essembe,
Thanks for your reply. You are right; it is a question of the drivers. I put the drive back into the old machine and it booted without any trouble.
I want to avoid having to reinstall Windows because that will mean re-installing MS Office and a lot of other things as well.
I tried using 'sysprep' on the new disc to obtain a 'generalised version of Windows which is said to make the disc boot up using default drivers and it appeared to be working but then Windows gave a typically helpful message: "Fatal error" but did not give any further information.
I had thought of installing the drivers for the new disc and motherboard while it is still in the old machine but hesitate to do that in case I end up with a totally useless drive. Is it feasible to do that, does anyone know?
|My System Specs
|22 May 2015
You would need to install the new drivers on the new hardware. How much time have you been doing this, and it still doesn't work? You could have done a clean install in the time you have been trying to 'fix' this drive. I do them all the time. If you get all of your installation disks and installers from downloaded programs together, it will go much faster and easier. Download all of your Motherboard drivers from your Motherboard's web site, for your particular board and put them on a USB flash drive. The most time consuming thing will be the installing updates. Once that is done, you can be operational in a couple of hours. When done, you will be glad you did. Sysprep will work if done right, but you will still be better off with a clean install.
|My System Specs
|22 May 2015
You can Adjust Win7 to boot on new hardware with Paragon Adaptive Restore CD
which is a lot less trouble than SysPrep and always works. If not then you need to confirm the Partition Marked Active then run Startup Repair - Run 3 Separate Times.

Leadership in the Workplace: Why Pointing Out the Obvious Is Sometimes Important
I believe that strong, ethical leadership is at the heart of respectful workplaces.
Effective leadership is not about finding a soapbox, standing upon it and preaching to those around you like a Sunday morning hack at Speaker's Corner in London's Hyde Park.
No, the sort of leadership I am talking about is where you assume accountability to your employees and set an example of respect through your actions.
There are also moments when you need to point out the obvious to everyone regarding why it is so important to treat each other appropriately.
Depending on the level of trust that you have within the workplace as a leader, this will either fall on completely deaf ears or will be remembered forever by those present.
I have an example of the latter for you.
Sir Ernest Shackleton is best known as a heroic explorer.
He is also widely acknowledged as an incredible leader who was decades ahead of his time. He was responsible for saving the lives of the twenty-seven men stranded with him in the Antarctic for almost two years in the early part of the last century.
Many stories have been written about the Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition (1914-1916) in which Shackleton intended to sail from England and cross the continent of Antarctica from one coast to the other, passing right over the South Pole on his way through.
At some point within this epic journey, with his ship Endurance crushed in sea-ice and then sunk, the entire group found themselves on a remote island.
Shackleton is about to take one of the three life-boats and five of his crew and row over 800 miles across the southern Atlantic Ocean to find help. The remainder of the crew (22 men) were to remain on a beach living under the two remaining life-boats and wait for Shackleton to return with the 'help' that he promised.
Prior to pushing the life-boat out into the surf to begin his 800 mile row, Shackleton sat down with his entire crew. He told them that how they treated each other from this point forward was going to determine whether they lived or died.
It was as simple as that.
Whether they were camping under the two life-boats on the beach or if they were in the other life-boat rowing for help, they had to make sure that they did three things:
- Always remain hopeful (being positive and optimistic about their situation and their rescue),
- Always be mindful and considerate of each other (appreciating the fact that there is no personal space in the circumstances in which they found themselves), and
- Always treat each other with compassion (being respectful in terms of language and attitude).
Over the course of the expedition, Shackleton had sat down and had numerous serious conversations with his crew. However, it was this one particular talk on the beach prior to that last life-boat launch which was remembered in the numerous memoirs and journals written by each crew member. All of whom survived to talk about it.
There are times when, as a leader, you may feel that something is so obvious (or should be so obvious) that there is no need to point it out to people.
However, when you do take the time to point it out and remind people why treating each other respectfully is so important, those that hear it will not only remember it but act on it too.
Shackleton's 3 points have as much relevancy in each of every one of our modern-day workplaces as they did to those men sitting on a frozen beach at the bottom of the world.

The online presence of private equity is increasing all the time. Whether through sites such as ours here at DealMarket or other online equity like Angel List, or popular crowdfunding sites like Kickstarter and Indiegogo, opportunities for raising money online are becoming more accessible to a wider market.
When speaking of online platforms, you have to mention social media. Where does social media fit into the online private equity landscape?
Social Media Advertising
Although regulations changed in 2013 relating to non-solicitation – allowing private equity (PE) funds to advertise to targeted investors – the open and public nature of social media means it is unlikely to become an advertising platform.
It should be remembered that sites such as DealMarket are essentially social platforms, although access is controlled to prevent anyone from starting to invest without having the necessary accreditations and credentials. Deals will continue to be presented on our platform and similar ones, although in terms of what most people would consider as social media (Facebook, Twitter, and similar sites) there will be a different approach.
Branding & Reputation
This is the big area where PE firms themselves as well as deal making platforms like DealMarket stand to see the biggest difference. As sites like ours act as more of a deal facilitator, it is probably less important to us than it is to global equity firms to have a huge brand presence (although it is obviously something we'd want to target and achieve). We're able to focus more on industry news and updates, while PE firms will be much more invested in reaching out to their audience.
They can use social media to share pieces of content they have written, and to bring people to the targeted advertising on their websites. Remember that advertising on social media technically isn't allowed, although even if PE firms did do it they'd still need to check each investor before they signed them up or let them commit money anyway.
Social media's role in the PE marketplace will be to publicise the news and activities of successful funds in such a way that they become more attractive to investors. From the perspective of platforms like DealMarket and the other examples listed at the top, social media will continue to be a valuable tool to share "top deals" and for continuing to grow awareness of the increasing accessibility to online deals.

Just running scared, each place we go.
So afraid that he might show.
Yeah, running scared, what would I doIf he came back, and
Wanted you?Just running scared, feeling low.
Running scared. You loved him so.
Just running scared, afraid to lose.
If he came back, which one would you choose?
Then, all at once, he was standing there.
So sure of himself, his head in the air.
My heart was breaking.
Which one would it be?
You turned around and walked away with me.

Aloe Vera
It is especially useful as an antioxidant, and as a relief from inflammatory digestive issues
Aloe vera has been used for centuries by Native Americans for it's healing properties. It is especially useful as an antioxidant, and as a relief from inflammatory digestive issues
Although the gel of the plant is famous for its ability to take the sting and heat out of a sunburn, the beneficial properties of aloe vera, Aloe barbadensis, reach much further than skin deep. Ancient peoples have used this soothing plant for a wide range of applications, from controlling irritation, to keeping wounds clean, and soothing gastrointestinal upset.[1] New research reveals that aloe vera's healing capabilities may be more numerous than previously believed. It has a wealth of health-promoting compounds to offer nearly all of the body's systems.
What Nutrients Does Aloe Vera Contain?
Though you might not think of it for its nutritional qualities, aloe vera is an all-star superfood. It contains a wide spectrum of essential nutrients and beneficial plant compounds. At this point, about 75 different nutrients have been identified.
Vitamins In Aloe Vera
Vitamin A (beta-carotene): A fat-soluble vitamin that supports the immune system, vision, reproductive health and the chemical communication between your cells[3]
Vitamin C: An antioxidant involved in healthy immune function, collagen synthesis, and wound repair.
Vitamin E: A fat-soluble antioxidant that helps regulate gene expression and may inhibit the development of cardiovascular disease.
Vitamin B-12: A B vitamin involved in healthy cognitive function, brain aging, the synthesis of DNA, and the production of red blood cells.
Folic acid: Another B vitamin that contributes to the conversion of amino acids and the formation of DNA.
Minerals In Aloe Vera
Calcium: A macromineral involved in bone strength, the contraction of muscles, and metabolic functions.
Chromium: A trace mineral responsible for blood sugar balance and immune functions.
Copper: A cofactor involved in the release of energy, the development of certain tissues, and the transmission of nerve impulses.
Selenium: A trace mineral that contributes to immune defenses, such as the regulation of cell growth and cell death.
Magnesium: A cofactor involved in the function of hundreds of enzymes including those involved in glucose metabolism, protein synthesis, calcium balance, and blood sugar regulation.
Manganese: An essential part of a powerful antioxidant enzyme produced by the body—manganese superoxide dismutase.
Potassium: A critical mineral and electrolyte concerned with nerve impulses, muscle and heart contractions.
Sodium: Another electrolyte involved in muscle function and nerve impulses.
Zinc: A trace mineral involved in growth, development, reproduction, brain function, and metabolism.
Though these aren't necessary according to government guidelines, an overwhelming proportion of evidence suggests that many of these plant compounds support excellent health.[18] Aloe vera contains many phytonutrients that are involved in immune responses to damaged tissue, both on the surface and internally. Some of these phytonutrients include:
Aloe vera contains at least eight different types of enzymes—alliinase, alkaline phosphatase, amylase, bradykinase, carboxypeptidase, catalase, cellulase, lipase, and peroxidase.[20] Bradykinase can help reduce skin swelling and irritation when applied to the skin.[21] Some of the other enzymes can help the body break down nutrients in the digestive tract and even prompt the recycling of damaged tissue in the body itself.
Additionally, catalase, an enzyme found in most organisms, protects cells from oxidative damage, which has been implicated in many diseases, as well as the body's aging process.
Health Benefits of Aloe Vera
There are extensive benefits that stem from regularly using and even eating aloe. These effects extend from the skin inward to your circulatory system. From here they can travel through the body promoting good health.
Part of Healthy, Anti-aging Diet
As you saw earlier, aloe vera is brimming with micronutrients like antioxidants, which help slow the aging process at the cellular level. But that's just the tip of the aloe iceberg. One study on women aged 45 years or older found that eating aloe itself improves skin elasticity, boosts collagen production, and significantly reduces wrinkles. Though the study was small, it found that sun-damaged skin and sun-protected skin both improved in appearance.
Balances Blood Composition for Cardiovascular Health
Some studies have shown that aloe vera supports normal blood sugar. Researchers reported that 5 active compounds in aloe vera reduced fasting blood sugar levels in mice up to 64% when consumed for 4 weeks. The same mice showed a 15% decrease in the A1C blood sugar levels.[20] This is significant because high blood sugar increases the presence of free radicals in the blood. It also increases damage to LDL cholesterol, which can lead to arterial plaques and the development of heart disease.
Even better, consuming aloe may support healthy levels of fat in the blood. Some research has shown aloe vera encourages normal LDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
Stimulates the Immune System
Acemannan, one of the active compounds in aloe vera, provokes the production of proteins that boost your body's defense against foreign or old, malfunctioning cells. It also encourages greater specialization in your dendritic cells, which are the immune cells that call the police—other immune cells—when they see suspicious activity in their neighborhood.
In an animal study, researchers discovered that eating aloe vera helps the body naturally boost red and white blood cell counts after aggressive medical treatments that suppress them.
Encourages Wound Repair
Aloe vera powder and gel is a common addition to natural skin products and cosmetics because it nourishes, moisturizes, and protects skin. Knowledge of these skin benefits has been widely applied for centuries, dating as a far back as ancient Indian, Roman, Greek, Iberian, and Arab folk medicine. Today, aloe is still used on relatively minor skin complaints, like an uncomfortable sunburn, but it can also soothe scratches, scrapes, burns, rashes, and other skin wounds.
Multiple studies have confirmed that it supports the healing of skin wounds and stimulates cellular rejuvenation. The gel of the aloe plant contains a few different plant compounds that help promote normal skin health. Aloe enzymes support the production of collagen, and help your body break down damaged tissue in wounds, while glycoproteins in the gel set the stage for new skin cells to proliferate.[19, 31] Additional research has found that it decreases healing time and for first- and second-degree burns. In human studies, aloe vera gel was found to improve skin integrity in dry, cracked skin and reduce irritation, wrinkling, and irritation from injuries.
Supports Oral Health
Aloe gel also promotes gum and dental health. It soothes swollen gums and protects them from irritating germs. One study found that swishing aloe gel in your mouth is just as effective at cleaning your mouth—if not more so—than commercial mouthwashes.
Promotes Digestive Comfort and Gut Health
Another study indicates that aloe vera can help your stomach naturally cleanse itself of harmful organisms to promote greater comfort.[34] It also helps the cells in your stomach lining increase mucosal production to insulate them from gastric acid. Because of this protective effect, aloe is included in some ulcer medications.
But aloe isn't just for stomach health, it also promotes gut health. The acemannan in aloe is a complex sugar that you can't digest, much like fiber, but your microbiota thrives on it. Nurturing the friendly bacteria in your gut with prebiotics like acemannan not only helps preserve your gastrointestinal health, it lays the groundwork for your overall health and wellbeing.
Protects You from Oxidative Stress
Aloe gel itself contains several innate antioxidants, like vitamins C and E, selenium, and a few phytonutrients that actively scavenge the free radicals that cause oxidative damage and accelerate the aging process.
Remarkably, the gel also helps your body produce antioxidants. One of your most powerful antioxidant scavengers is produced by the body, like superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione, which neutralizes superoxides. Consuming aloe gel helps your body increase production of these cunning chemical allies that protect you from oxidative damage.
Inhibits Growth of Harmful Organisms
Your personal hygiene and the foods you eat are strong determinants of how your body interacts with your microbiota—and how it affects your health in turn. The prebiotic potential of acemannan reinforces your natural defenses against harmful, opportunistic organisms that can compromise your health when your immune system is depressed, otherwise occupied, or when it's busy repairing other injuries.

|Description and Photograph
The green waterproof paint on this Richmond Arsenal ammunition chest shows a lot of wear, but has not peeled or faded. The Richmond Arsenal's white stenciled information panels are strong, clear and legible, informing all that it weighed 86 Lbs and contained 1000 Sharp's Rifle Cartridges, (Sharps carbine) Caliber 52 and was manufactured at the Richmond Arsenal during August 1864.
The Richmond Arsenal was housed in the large antebellum tobacco factory buildings situated on Byrd Island, between the Kanawha Canal and James River. The water from the canal and its basin had been harnessed to supply power to the various factories and mills built along its course prior to the war. Not only did the Canal provide a steady source of power, it served as a fire break, separating Richmond's financial and residential areas from the hazardous munitions. Byrd Island also served as terminus of the Richmond - Petersburg Railroad which had connecting lines to the Danville Railroad as well as the Weldon. Tredegar Iron Works, the Richmond Armory, the Artillery Works and numerous mills, foundries and factories were located adjacent to, and around the Richmond Arsenal. It was an ideal location for the Confederacy's most important arsenal.
The following is taken from a report prepared under the direction of Lt. Col. William LeRoy Broun and published in the Richmond Enquirer the day of Richmond's evacuation.
During the three and one half years between July 1, 1861 and January 1, 1865 the Richmond Arsenal issued a staggering seventy-two million, four hundred thirteen thousand, eight hundred fifty-four (72,413,854) small arms cartridges of all calibers and 146,901,250 percussion caps! Each of these cartridges had to be individually wrapped, then rewrapped ten to a package along with twelve percussion caps and finally, one hundred of these ten-packs were packed in protective wooden crates like the one shown here. These crates had to be labeled with type and caliber of the enclosed ammunition as well as the date and location of issuance.
Lt. Col. Broun's report does not delineate between pistol, carbine and rifle ammunition, but using the formula of 1000 rounds per crate, the Arsenal had to have produced seventy-two thousand, four hundred fourteen (72,414) ammunition crates. Only a small percentage of these would have been Sharp's ammunition crates; this and the nature of Confederate cavalry operations made the survival of these Sharp's ammunition crates barely above 0 percent. After having taken a survey of the larger Confederate collections both in private hands and institutions I believe that there are less than five surviving examples of this rare box. And of those, only the one in the North Carolina Museum in Raleigh is in comparable condition.
The crate was found near Woodstock, Virginia in 2006. It measures approximately 18 by 10 by 8 inches. These measurements are not exact, because I do not want it copied. This crate has held up exceptionally well.
For rarity, condition and stunning eye appeal, nothing could possibly be more desirable. While there is no comparable to establish a price, when considering the price of this rare box, compare it to common belt buckles, handguns, rifles etc… and you will see that it is a bargain.

…An excerpt from my NaNoWriMo novel.
Let me set the scene for you.
It's the year 2027. Our main character, Eric Thatcher, is under anesthesia, getting heart replacement surgery to fix a defect in his heart. In the future, animal organs are grown to replace human ones, so Eric is getting himself a brand new, shiny, perfect pig's heart (this will happen in the future, really).
But he's having a weird dream while under the knife. Read on.
The tugging brought me to a door with a small glass window in it. Light was coming from inside and it illuminated the dark hallway. It was a white, clean light, like from a fluorescent bulb, not the yellow light that comes from regular bulbs. I called out for Isla, but made no noise. She was not there anyway.
I knocked on the door, but didn't wait for an answer. I hadn't seen another soul in the whole hospital, and I had a feeling that this room was empty too. I was surprised that, when I entered, there was a man there, huddled over a metal table. He was wearing a scrub cap. The inside of the room looked like a lab, empty, except for a few tables, and what looked like a giant chest freezer in the middle of it. I could see from here that it had a clear top, but I couldn't see what was inside.
The man working didn't notice me. He didn't even flinch when I came into the room. He was working on something small and delicate. "Excuse me?" I felt like I was intruding. "Hello?"
He didn't respond. Instead, I went over to examine the chest freezer in the center of the room. I found that it wasn't a freezer at all, it was some sort of incubator filled with a hundred little plastic or glass cubes, each one containing a red and fleshy living heart. A pig's heart, I imagined. I had a conscious moment where I thought about how funny my mind was. Is this really like the place where they grew my heart?
I decided to ask. "Excuse me?" I said again. "Are these pig's hearts?" The man still didn't answer, so I went over to see what he was working on. Maybe I could help. I approached him quietly so as not to disturb his work. "Can I help you?"
I peered over his shoulder and saw a tiny person on the table in front of him. The person was sliced down the middle and squirming, and there was blood pooling around him. The man made careful movements with his hands, and kept wiping them on a rag beside him. There was no sound.
I couldn't figure out what was happening here. It was an operation of some sort, maybe, but the person was so small. I got a little closer, and noticed that the person was wearing a little gown, and was asleep. His face was nondescript, it could have been anyone, really. I was relieved to find it wasn't me. It seemed that dreams usually worked that way.
I watched the surgery for another moment, but nothing seemed to happen. There was more blood. I could see the patient's insides. The hands of the operator worked deftly and I saw the rag was getting stained. "What are you doing?" I asked. "Can I please help you?"
I felt like I needed to help him. The person on the table wasn't looking so good. For a moment, I thought he wasn't going to make it. It seemed like he was losing a whole lot of blood. The fluorescent lights around me flickered.
Finally, I tapped the operator on the shoulder, hard. I needed to know what was going on. He turned to look at me, and I saw that his face was rubbery. He had a snout, and wiry hairs poking out from around his chin and nose. But it wasn't a human chin or a human nose. There was nothing human about this face whatsoever.
It was a pig face, but not quite. There was something about it that didn't seem real, but I couldn't figure out what, exactly. The eye sockets were empty and loose and expressionless and they were pointed right at me. I backed away, not wanting to be near the thing any longer, and fell into a metal stool. It clattered to the ground, and I was enveloped in blackness.
Stay tuned for more!

It's really amazing how some embossing and a sentiment can make a project that extra little bit special. And that's exactly what I did to this card.
It's another commissioned card made last week for an order and without the embossing, quite frankly, I think it would have flopped. But I'll let you decide that.
The three squares below the sentiment block (which was punched with the Martha Stewart lace punch) are actually craft tiles. They are like little plastic blocks that resemble tiles.
All the paper came from my scrap stash, aren't you proud?
I'm on the mend from my Bronchitis so you shouldn't be stuck with my very short post for long :) Tomorrow brings you the start of my week in review updates....NO, I had not given up on them, just got behind.... weak excuse but at least I've got going again!
Have a Terrific Tuesday all!
A collection of my papercraft endeavours, as I make my way through a mound of scrap paper that never ceases to amaze me...

This collection of Charlie Parker quotes is full of insight into the "original jazz master" and his music.
Born in Kansas City, Parker earned his nickname, "Yardbird," because of his love of eating chicken. Later it was shortened to "Bird," the name most people used for him. The famous New York nightclub "Birdland" was named in his honor.
One of the fathers of "bebop," he was a technical virtuoso with incredible technique, and his experiments with harmonies, unique chording and rhythms influenced every jazz musician who followed. Any page with Charlie Parker quotes would not be complete without some of the many, many wonderful things other jazz musicians had to say about "Bird." To many, he was the father of it all, and they all paid him homage.
Let this group of quotations by Charlie Parker and others tell you more about the man, his life, his technique and his legacy.
Bop is no love-child of jazz.
I can play all I know in eight bars.
Don't play the saxophone. Let it play you.
Hey man, it's just music. It's playing clean and hitting the pretty notes.
I realized by using the high notes of the chords as a melodic line, and by the right harmonic progression, I could play what I heard inside me. That's when I was born.
I kept thinking there's bound to be something else? I could hear it sometimes, but I couldn't play it.
In Kansas City joints ran 9pm-5am. Pay was a $1.25 a night but somebody special like Count Basie could command $1.50.
You've got to learn your instrument. Then, you practice, practice, practice. And then, when you finally get up there on the bandstand, forget all that and just wail.
Any musician who says he is playing better either on tea, the needle, or when he is juiced, is a plain straight liar…. You can miss the most important years of your life, the years of possible creation.
I'd been getting bored with the stereotyped changes [harmonies] that were being used all the time. ... I found that by using the higher intervals of a chord as a melody line and backing them with appropriately related changes I could play the thing I'd been hearing. I came alive.
And here's what is probably my favorite of all the Charlie Parker quotes—short, sweet, and it really says it all!
The influence of Charlie "Bird" Parker on other jazz musicians—both in his own time and continuing until today—can hardly be over-stated. He was and is a legend and the people who worked with him idolized his talent and his technique. Everyone who knew him had something to say about him. Perhaps most eloquent of all was Miles Davis. When he was asked to summarize the history of jazz, he had only four words:
"Louis Armstrong; Charlie Parker."
Here are some other wonderful Charlie Parker quotes from people who knew and worked with him.
Charlie Parker always filled me with a kind of despair, because he played the way I would have liked to write, and this wasn't possible for me or anyone else. He made poetry seem word-bound.
When I first heard Charlie Parker, I said,"That's how our music should be played." After we got it together, yeah, I knew we were making something new. It was magic. Nobody on the planet was playing like that but us.
When Bird came on the scene, it was shocking as in the Bible: everything was dark and then there was light.
~Shorty Rogers
The first time I heard Bird play, it hit me right between the eyes.
~John Coltrane
He had just what we needed. He had the line and he had the rhythm. The way he got from one note to the other and the way he played the rhythm fit what we were trying to do perfectly. We heard him and knew the music had to go his way…. He was the other half of my heartbeat.
~Dizzy Gillespie
